Key takeaways from this guide
Selling a home is a series of decisions, and the right questions keep your sale on track and protect your equity. I give my sellers a set of questions to think through before and during the sale, because the answers shape every choice we make.
Start with your own goals. Why are you selling, and what does success look like? If you need a fast close, we prioritize speed. If you want the highest net, we may invest more in prep and wait for the right buyer. Knowing your goal keeps every decision aligned.
Ask about your home's value and how it was determined. I prepare a comparative market analysis that shows recent sales of similar homes near you, active competition, and market trends. Understanding how your number was built helps you trust the price and stand firm when offers come.
Ask what it will cost to sell. A net proceeds estimate subtracts your mortgage payoff, closing costs, title fees, and any agreed repairs from your expected sale price. I provide that number before you list so you know what you will walk away with.
Ask about your agent's marketing plan. How will your home be photographed, listed, and promoted? Where will buyers see it? A strong plan reaches every qualified buyer, and I walk you through exactly what I do for each listing.
Ask about the offer process. How will offers be presented and evaluated? What terms matter beyond price? I help you weigh financing type, contingencies, closing date, and buyer strength so you pick the offer most likely to close.
Ask what happens after you accept. The inspection, appraisal, and closing steps each carry risks. I explain the timeline and how I manage each step so the deal stays together. The right questions turn a stressful process into a clear plan.
